Merge tag 'configfs-for-linus' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/configfs

Pull configfs updates from Christoph Hellwig:
 "I'm assisting Joel as co-maintainer and patch monkey now, and you will
  see pull reuquests from me for a while.

  Besides the MAINTAINERS update there is just a single change, which
  adds support for binary attributes to configfs, which are very similar
  to the sysfs binary attributes.  Thanks to Pantelis Antoniou!

  You will see another actually bigger set of configfs changes in the
  SCSI target pull from Nic - those were merged before this new tree
  even existed"
